mangohead Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I installed Leopard and removed all the printer drivers except for brother drivers with a customized installation. When I boot into Leopard and try to add a Printer, I dont see any options to select a printer, or any printers to choose from. I've tried to re-install them from the DVD without any luck either. I also have a Canon MP160 and since I dont see any drivers, I downloaded the OSX 10.4 drivers and tried to install those. Installation went through just fine and I was asked to reboot. I rebooted and there were still no printers installed and clicking on " More Printers " shows " No third Party printer browsers were found ". Any idea what is going on? Is there a printing "service" that needs to be enabled? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67763-cannot-install-printers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have the exact same issue. I installed 10.5 from flat-image which had all the printers removed. Then I took a retail cd and dug around for the printer driver package for Brother. Installed it, rebooted, no printers show up. Anybody solved this?

TheBogieMan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Is the rpinter showing in system profiler in the USB tab ?, might be showing as something obscure like "USB MFP" if it's an all in one. If not, is your USB working correctly ? If it's showing in USB then try this for a driver Gutenprint for Mac OS X ?

Brother's website shows that the brother drivers are "bundled" with Mac OSX 10.5 I don't know where they are and it seems like iPC distro has them stripped (I only see Epson drivers in the dropdown) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67763-cannot-install-printers/#findComment-1150520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
