I’ve searched high and low to find a solution to my printing issues and FINALLY FOUND IT!!! Thank you so much for your help!! I appreciate you immensely 🤗 💯!!!
I am having trouble printing pictures. It tells me to insert a disk, it that the disk when I first set up my printer from the start? Please help if you see this.
THANKS A LOT !! I couldn't understand for the life of my why my printer won't just churn out the damn page when it was correctly connected to my Mac. Deleting the printer drives solved the issue for me. Thanks Again!! 😘😘
This is fantastic. I'm a long-standing Mac user, but even having found the driver, couldn't get it to work, so your fix and instructions were VERY helpful! Many thanks!
I can’t believe this video doesn’t have more views. Literally watched sooo many videos about this issue and this was the only one that was actually helpful keep it up, thanks!!
EXCELLENT! Your video helped us get back ALL of our devices and are up and running! It saved us tons of $$$. Apple and Canon should hire you! Thank you very much!
Great Job! My printer is an HP Deskjet Plus 4100 series and it keeps showing that it is not connected to the network if you look into it it is but won't print, I'm tired of hitting the "I" and wasting ink can you help, please? Thank You, ty
Thank you. I am a PC tech who knows nothing about MacOS & I have a job tomorrow with a printer not connecting to a Mac laptop. It's probably an issue with the printer (it's HP on wifi), but this video gave me ideas of what to look into if it's not the printer... Thanks for the detailed instructions, on exactly what to do!
Thanks so much! This video help me so much to solve a chronic problem that finally I'll pay it forward doing a How to fix video for someone else. Thanks again!
FINALLY found a video that helped me step by after searching for days! Thank you SO MUCH! Been trying to add a printer that's not showing to a new laptop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO!
I have been unable to print from my MacStudio for over a year. Neither Apple or Epson could solve the issue. But you did today. I went into CUPS, deleted and then added my printer. Now it works. Thank you very much!
I have a MacBook Pro version 12.5.1 (Monterey). My problem is that it suddenly can't even find my printer, which it was using fine until today. I've tried the things you suggested in this video but it just can't see the printer, before or after I deleted it. This is a very helpful video though, in spite of my issue. Do you have any videos hat address it not finding the printer? Printer says it's online, It prints.
This literally was so helpful especially the "CUPS" part! Definitely recommend using these steps for printer help. My MAC kept saying "Encryption credentials has expired" and kept pausing my printer. THANK YOU.
Thanks!!! This worked!!! One tip for everyone. HP replaced my old printer with the exact same model. So My Mac was seeing the OLD printer. Go to 6:16 in the vid. Hit the minus sign to get rid of all printers. Then hit + sign to select new printer which in my case was the exact same model.
Thank You So much ! it worked. if you know I already search this information in internet but never found it. But now I found your video that really help. My head hurted because I cant work freely because I cant print my work. You save my day brooo
Hey, do you happen to have issue after upgrade to Monterey 12.2, whereby printer always on Paused status. My shared printer works wll when i'm on 12.1. appreciate if anyone can share a solution. Cheers.
You're a Godsend. 💯The way you present the idea was precise and on point that even a layman could easily follow what you were teaching/explaining. I would have gone to the nearest printer shop if I did not see your video. Thank you so much!
Not sure what I did in CUPS that worked, but thank you my printer issue is solved thanks to you! Dropped a like 🔥 hope everyone else watches through and finds a fix.
I really appreciate your comprehensive video. I'm astounded that nothing has worked. Printer works off phone with no fuss but the MAC will not communicate with the printer. did cups, updates, installed hp 'easy starts' as well as all new firmware and drives from their website. I'm just absolutely astonished. Gobsmacked. been at it for like 4hours lol kms
Not sure what I did but went through the CUPS steps and after a few mins my printer reappeared in my system preferences -- HP users: I also moved Epson and Canon Folders to recycling been, so that may have contributed as well. Again, not sure how this fixed itself but thanks for this video! It's book marked on my tab!
I am having trouble with printing from my computer on my printer it says code 2110 and says "The size/type of loaded paper is deferent from the print settings." I have tried everything can not get it to print from my computer. Does print from my phone and iPad. what can I do to change this Any suggestions or cures for this... I am frustrated. Thank you for any help
Thank you for your help! I was able to get my printer to recognize my computer so it would print for me. However, I still have an issue. My blue and black ink will not print. I have cleaned the head. I have changed the cartridges. I have tried to just print black. I am not sure what else to do, other than get a new printer. :(
My HP printer got few issues on the wireless options. I can easily send files for my other apple devices. But not from my MacBook Pro were I edit and manage most of my files and softwares. I want to fix it this time, because I can't be bothered to send my files to my iPad in order to print. Simple question is, since I re install it twice and I have the same issue. What should I do ?
My 1st attempt didn't work either. I could not either, until I opened up a new window and followed this video slowly in steps, between pauses. I was not able to get the color feature to turn on until it got to the cupsctl WebInterface=yes part. cups stands for Common Units Printing System as this gentleman said it's the back door to manage your printer settings better. Hope it works!
I’m having a problem with my printer since day one and this video save my frustrations in life. 😅 a very helpful video 💯 subscribed, liked and hit 🔔 for this. Thank you!
my apple M1 Mac air wants me to choose a driver for my printer (after I have it plugged into the USB, no wifi on printer) the options do not offer Brother printers ~ any help you can offer? much appreciated!
hello, I tried to connect the network printer in my iMac but it doesn't show up in default, however it works on Windows devices. I tried putting the IP address manually, and it adds the printer but when printing it shows the printer unreachable. I tried installing and erasing drivers, but the issue is still the same. can you help me out ? thanks!
9:02 Now I'm getting closer... (My upgraded 2009 MBP was doing fine and then recently my print dialogue box was weird/sluggish/slow to open for 2 different/both printers)
I've been having printer problems for the past few days. I have the HP Deskjet 3054A. My computer is the iMac Retina 4K, 21.5 inch, 2017 macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7. I tried to print papers and It told me my printer has malware. A popup window told me where the virus maybe. I clicked it and it leads me to CUPS. I deleted it unknowingly and now I can't access the printer on system preferences. I deleted the HP Deskjet files in hoping of reinstalling it but I feel like I made the problem worse than it already is. When I clicked "printers and scanners" in my system preferences it tells me "Could not load printers & scanners preference pane". I have tried researching this problem and using terminal but my problem still exists. I don't know if this matters but I did a scan with TotalAV and it told me I didn't have any viruses. What are the best possible options in fixing this issue?
I think my printer is not compatible with MacOS Sonoma, as it prints a blank page. Is there a generic HP printer driver that will work for a HP Envy 4520?
Hey manm, thank you very much for the informative video, I am still having some problems with my oki mc853 though, either through the driver or airprint it wont work although i have no problem printing to it on the same network on a windows device. The printer is visible, it just gets stuck on sending the file 2020 M1 macbook air
recently brought epson L3250. There was no problem in connecting but when i print PDF or any image document the printer gave me print in text form such as % Ps adobe 3.0 etc please help me
I'm impressed MacOS uses CUPS same as Linux, this steps are accurate and you took the right way to fix it, I prefer the terminal way but the whole video is fantastic!
my HP LaterJet P1102 isn't connecting to my M1 MacBook air, I tried downloading HP drivers for Mac OS11 but the software does not recognize the printer although it's connected
I have a Mac with an HP printer. I can print anything off the internet; but when I try to print something on file in my Mac, it shows only blank pages in the print preview. And that's just what I get from the printer--blank pages. Suggestions?
What if your printers do not show up on the list again after deleting them. I have two printers , neither show up at all not on the iMac or the PC. Both computers are hard wired lan by cat cable to the router.
just purchased my mac book air m1 and I could not get my Samsung c410w to print, in the end as I have 2010 17" MBP I copied from library/printers to my mac book air and copied from system/printers to my mac book air and its now recognized and prints the first time. was a bit of a long shot but I had tried everything so I thought sod it, hope this helps you.
My issue is that when I go to print it says "Encryption credentials expired". I have removed and added back the printer multiple times to no avail. I have an Epson 3640. Any ideas? I have spent hours trying to handle this.
Nothing is coming up for the printer. I had printed from this computer to my printer previously, they are both connected to the same wifi, but it wouldn't show up on any list. So I bought another printer and it's the same issue. None are showing up on any list. I followed the steps through here. Not sure what else to do.

thank you for explaining why a duplicate printer wasn't printing and to delete all from printer settings. A viewer below also had the same issue.

Thank You! your tutorial helped me a lot , I red the apple instructions but until I watched your tutorial I was able to fix it.

Oh man I want to hug you. Finally it’s printing my document. The very last of your solutions worked. 🙏 thx so much.
You're a genius. Had to go to Terminal to add my printer over bonjour, it wasn't being added when I clicked on it
This literally was so helpful especially the "CUPS" part! Definitely recommend using these steps for printer help. My MAC kept saying "Encryption credentials has expired" and kept pausing my printer. THANK YOU.

Why when I try and pull up the cups admin panel In safari do I i get “page not found?”.
Okay, by adding “/printers” to the url I was able to access cups. Unfortunately my printer still didn’t show up in there!
