OS X V10.7 Lion :: Installing Networked Brother Printer?
Feb 2, 2012
I have a Brother HL-2270 DW printer setup on my network. I see it as an option to add, but when I select it, it says that the software is available through apple. So it makes me select "install and continue" or "cancel". If i select continue, it works on it and then says it is not able to find the software. So i manually went on to the brother website and downloaded the driver. WHen I go back to add the printer it still wants to go through the apple software databse, and as a result I cannot load the printer.
Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

My grandfather purchased a Brother MFC-J6510DW all in one printer several weeks ago and since day one we cannot get the thing installed and recognised on his mac.He running an Imac with OS X 10.7. Originally the computer recognised the printer but when we tried to print nothing would happen. We opened up the printer que and noticed that the job had a error but the system didnt tell me what error.I have visited the Brother website and followed the advice to uninstall all the printer drivers and associated docs and then reinstalled the drivers..... Now my grandfathers machine will not recognise my printer at all and when we try to manually search for the drivers (that we have installed) the mac does not load any for this specific printer.Is there anyone out there who can shine a light on our problem)?

When I first set up this new macbook pro the printer installed perfectly and worked great. Today I hit 'print' and nothing. No printer installed. I'm not a computer guru so I don't know what to do when set up asks for 'machine' ip addresses. What machine...printer or laptop?? Right now I'm very frustrated because it worked great and now, poof, it doesn't. I tried using the install dvd to reinstall the printer after clicking customize it still looked like it wanted to reinstall the whole operating system. Wasn't clear to me at all so I ended that before really screwing things up.
Here's how I'm set up: 13" MacBookPro unibody aluminum, SnowLeopard OSX6, Airport Extreme wireless router, Brother MFC490CW Wireless printer with my wife's intel iMac also connected to the printer via lan cable. I would seriously appreciate some suggestions that I can understand to get this what should be a simple configuration to work and stay put. I suspect it's a simple process but at this point I'm clueless.

I have a Mac mini (mid-2010), Brother MFC-9840CDW multi-function device (built-in wireless), Windows 7 (64-bit) running on Boot Camp, Windows 7 built-in firewall turned off, Westell router
Attempts:
Brother website, "Wireless Setup Wizard for Windows," dated 2007. I appropriately responded to the prompts, only to have the program end without making any noticeable changes.
Brother website, "Full Driver & Software Package." It could did not find my printer to install. It did see my neighbor's printer.
Called Brother. Factory reset of the printer, printer WAN setup WEP with password, printer setting WAN enabled. When wireless failed, we tried to connect the printer via ethernet cable to the router directly. Also pinged the IP address of the printer and input the IP address in the Brother install program instead of having Windows find it on its own.
Called Apple. The tech did not have a clue. Said she would pass me to a lead/supervisor, but no one ever picked up.
Windows could only see the printer if I connected the USB cable directly from the printer to the Mac mini. But I do not want to run it that way. That's why I got the CDW model ("W" for "wireless"). It worked wirelessly under XP on my old PC that the Mac replaced.

I have my printer, epsonNX4 shared from my server to the windows boxes, but I'm trying to get it to work on the mac to.
The mac sees it and can print from it, but it prints blank pages. I went and downloaded the print, scan, copy drivers from EPSON's site, but how do I tell it to use those drivers?
It never appeared in the printer list of Add Printer popup.

Today, for some reason I can't print to our networked printer, a Kyocera FS-6950DN laser. All I am getting now is a 'Network host is busy, will retry in 10/15 secs' and the job just holds.Â
So, what have I tried. To eleminate any printer issues I have successful managed to print direct from my MacBook (also running OSX 10.6.8) without a problem. So the printer seems fine. However, if a connect directly (again via a single ethernet cable) to my MacPro it won't print. I have deleted the printer and created a new one. Actually, I have done this several times. When I go to create a new printer I can see the printer listed a a bonjour printer. I select it, then I use 'generic postcript'. I can choose the my printer here, but I seem to remember that this was a problem when I set it up originally and I was advised to use the generic option. I click add and that used to work. But not now. I have checked that the printer has a static ip address and it does. I have also tried adding the printer as an IP printer and adding the IP address etc maually, but again this doesn't work. I've tried this both with LPD set or IPP set. I get the same busy error message. Â
Trawling the net I have noticed lots of people with Kyocera print issues relating to the latest OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 update. Although having succesfully printed from my MacBook that would suggest that 10.6.8 isn't the issue in my case.Â
I should also say that I have done the usual... repaired the permissions and reset the PRAM etc. I have ping tested the connection from my MacPro and there is a response from the printer. It's just not finding the printer when I send the job to print?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Kyocera FS-6950DN laser printer

After I installed Snow Leopard everything has been working fine but I installed the latest Brother fax/printer driver and supporting apps yesterday Airport stopped working. So I restarted the computer but still won't turn on, no matter what I do. I'm not 100% sure if they are related but it's hard to believe they are not. I can remove all the Brother related stuff but I still need the printer driver.
Has anybody had this problem and can anybody suggest a solution?

I've just got a new Brother HL-210w wireless printer, but the wireless setup has got me completely baffled. Has anybody set one of these up wirelessly? I'm following the directions in the book and using the CD, but I cannot get this printer to work.

So I'm deciding between getting an HP P1006 or Brother 2140. My concern with these printers is their durability. I have had a Brother HL-2040 for 1.5 yrs but it was an awful experience, I had problems with paper loading. But, several websites say that the Brother 2170W is great. So, I am tempted to buy the 2140 or 2170W but I am not sure if it will be durable. I want to know which one do you guys think is more durable for use with MacOSX Leopard: HP or Brother?

I'm trying decide between a Canon or Brother color laser multifunction printer. Quite honestly we don't do a lot of color printing, but I'm so tired of clogged inkjets (can you say Epson) that I'm trying to stay clear of them. A multifunction inkjet would seem appropriate for our situation, but I don't want to have clean printheads once a month. Even if we do get a mutlfunctional laser I still need a a small photoprinter for quick photos prints. My other option is a multifunctional inkjet and then a B&W laser printer. I'm down to Canon and Brother based on the fact both seem to work well with Macs and don't have the bloated software that comes with HP. I can't find any reviews on the Canon lasers since they are relatively new. The Brother machines seem to get good reviews, but quite a few complain about the color prints.

Just wondering, as the title suggests, whether the Brother HL-5370DW mono laser printer creates its own wireless access, or do I need a router?

A Brother printer update has just appeared in my Software Update, to my surprise.
I actually thought Apple had stopped offering Software Update to third parties, as the only other one I can think of is the Stuffit update that appeared several years ago on fresh installs of OS X (not sure if it still does).

When I load the installation CD I get a message 'PowerPC applications no longer supported'. I would like to find a way to configure the WLAN without using the wizard on this disk that I'm unable to see. Brother support doesn't appear to address the problem. Â
I managed to download and install the driver from Brother but do not have a clue about TCP/IP and how to set up a static IP address manually.Â
I have a Linksys WAG120N DSL router and a Mac Book Pro running Lion OS. Â

I'm trying to make it so that my students have the ability to log onto our iMacs (all running Lion) through our Mac Mini Server (also Lion). I recently had to go through drastic changes in order to simply create a directory administrator, yet it still persists. The active directory isn't binded onto the server yet. When I try to bind the my Active Directory with the Mac Mini, I get the following popup after logging in as the Directory Admin:Â

I have a Drobo external drive array connected by firewire to my primary home computer - a Mac Pro. the last year I've backed up two Macbook Pros (mine and my wife's) to this Drobo using Time Machine (The Mac Pro is always on and the laptops backup through the home network, through the Map Pro, to the Drobo). I recently did a fresh reinstall of Lion to all 3 computers. Now for some reason Time Machine can't kick the backup off. It gives me a "Can't backup - the backup drive us not available," or something like that.
A couple of key points:
* Through the primary computer, I have opened read/write file sharing permissions for all drives, including the FW connected Drobo
* From the laptops, I can see and read/write to the Drobo through Finder
* Through Time Machine preferences, I can select the Drobo as a backup destination - it's only when I kick off the backup that I run into the error.
* If I create a test admin account to try, I get the same problem when trying to back up.
* As a safegard, I have run a manual backup successfully to a separate external drive (mobile g-drive)

I frequently use Preview to scan documents using a networked HP scanner.Â
Every time I launch preview to perform some scanning, I find that I must select File->Import from Scanner->Include Networked Devices.Â
I find this mildly annoying. Is there a way that I can get Preview to include networked scanning devices by default?Â

I am trying to install an HP Laserjet 5100 printer onto my Mac (10.5.6) with little success. I have downloaded the driver and when I double click on the .dmg file, I go through the steps and install it. It says it is correctly installed. Yet, I cannot see it when I try to print something.
What am I doing wrong? Where can I go?

I have an printer. I connected this printer with USB to a computer with windows XP. I shared this printer in a network. When I acces it from another windows PC, it works fine. However when I try to use it from my mac (OS X 10.5.8) it does not work. I can find the printer on the network (System preferences-> Print and Fax -> + -> Windows -> select printer). (Note, I'm dutch, so I translated the names, I hope it is clear).
Now here the problem starts:
When I select the printer, I have to choose (Print according and here I can select various kinds of printer drivers. But the Epson stylus pro 4000 is not in the list! So I did have a look on the internet and found that this printer cannot work full functionally at OS X 10.5.x. However there was a 3.09 version which allowed some limited use. So I did download this file and installed it. But what do I have to do now? The driver still is not in the driver list in the add printer menu.

I am having a problem installing a printer on XP within parallels. I am using the bonjour setup wizard to install the printer. When I use the setup, I am able to see the printer and go through the necessary steps to set it up. When I choose to finish the install windows tells me I don't have permission to install the printer.
How do I change the permissions so I can install the printer?

I simply plugged in my HP C4180 All in One after starting up my MAC. It was installed in seconds. I can printer without a problem. My problem is the scan feature. When calling up scan from the actual printer, it does NOT give an option to scan to a file. I have no installation disk for MAC so I'm at a stand still.

Apple Genius Bar installed Mavericks on my Mac and I transferred information from the back-up, but now the Canon MP640 is not linked. Have not ben able to achieve this - the instruction is to go to Canon for latest software. Have downloaded what I believe is the appropriate software, but still cannot make the connection.
