Hi Good day!!
Here are the step to install printer in your Mac:

Open up System Preferences. Select Print & Fax.
Click on the + button to add a printer.
Go to http://lpr.byu.edu/printers/.
Click the desired printer.
Click the Properties link on the left of the page.
Select and copy the last half of the Network Name (everything after http://lpr.byu.edu/).
In this example, you would copy printers/N362ESCD/.printer.
Go back to the Printer Browser.
Select the IP printing tab at the top of the window.
From the Protocol: drop-down menu, choose Internet Printing Protocol - IPP.
In the Address: box type lpr.byu.edu:80.
In the Queue: box enter what you copied from the previous step.
Type the name you want the printer to have in the Name: box.
Choose Generic PostScript Printer from the Print Using: drop down.
Click Add.
The printer should be added to the printer list and is now ready to be printed to.

How do I get my canon ip6000 printer to recognize my Mac computer

You need to go on your mac and download the driver and install it on your mac.
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/ip-series/pixma-ip6000d
Assuming printer only has UBS interface Mac should recognise the printer is connected to it once you install the driver .
If it has an internet protocol ip address tcp/IP then give printer an ip address in the range of the MAC and it will be detected by the mac.

How do I install driver for Kyocera CS 5035 on MAC

The following instructions should help you. TO download the current driver use this link to th emanufacture website; http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/resource_details.jsp?rid=18657.

Kyocera Printer Drivers and Mac OS® X 10.5 Leopard FAQ:
Is the installation for Mac OS X 10.5 the same as for Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier? Mac OS X 10.5 introduced a new printing architecture that requires changes to the installer and installation process. For this reason, Mac OS X 10.5 requires a new printer driver installer.

I cannot see my Kyocera AppleTalk® printer. How can I make it visible to OS X 10.5? AppleTalk is disabled by default in Mac OS X 10.5. Enable AppleTalk to discover your Kyocera printer.If you use the Kyocera installer, a message will appear, asking you to enable AppleTalk. Click Yes to continue the installation.

I cannot find Printer Setup Utility on Mac OS X 10.5. Is it still supported? Apple has removed Printer Setup Utility from Mac OS X 10.5. To install a printer, open System Preferences and click Print & Fax.

When I manually install a printer, multiple PPD files are listed for the same Kyocera model. Which should I choose? When manually installing a printer or changing a PPD for a installed printer, both Linux and Mac OS X PPDs are listed for some older Kyocera models due to a change in PPD handling in Mac OS X 10.5. Linux PPDs can be identified by the word Gutenprint in the PPD filenames.

Supported Multifunction Printers: KM-1650, KM-1815, KM-1820, KM-2050 ,KM-2530 ,KM-2550, KM-3035, KM-3050, KM-3530, KM-4030, KM-4035, KM-4050, KM-4530, KM-5035, KM-5050, KM-5530, KM-6030, KM-6330, KM-7530, KM-8030, KM-C830, KM-C830D, KM-C850, KM-C850D, KM-C2520, KMC2525E, KM-C2630, KM-C3225, KM-C3225E, KM-C3232, KM-C3232E, KM-C4008, KM-C4035E, CS-1650, CS-1815, CS-1820, CS-2050,CS-C2525E, CS-2550, CS-6030, or newer.

Need to install Lexmark X4550 but only have MAC disc am on vista

Are you trying to install the Lexmark X4550 to your Mac computer? What is the exact OS of your Mac (i.e 10.3.x; 10.4.x or 10.5.x)?

You have to make sure that the pinter is compatible with the OS that you have.

I don't have a doubt with the printer since you mentioned that it worked with XP. To install the printer to your Mac, please follow the steps below:

If your printer does not appear in the Printer pop-up menu, find and install the appropriate driver. Check any CD-ROM discs included with the printer, or the website of your printer's manufacturer. Only users with an administrator account can install software.

Tip: You can also open the Printer List window from Printer Center (Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier) or the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, or later).

Check the Printer menu again after installing the software. If the printer does not appear, you may need to do this:
  1. Make sure the printer is connected to your computer, plugged in, and turned on.
  2. For Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier, from the Printer menu in the print dialog choose Edit Printer List. The Printer List window appears.
  3. For Mac OS X 10.3 or later, choose Show Printer List from the View menu. The Printer List window appears.
  4. Click the Add Printer button.
  5. Choose USB from the first pop-up menu.
  6. Select your printer from the list.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Close the Printer List window.
If the printer will not work, you may download the driver from the Web and install it. Here, I have provided you the link where you can download the printer driver:

http://www.findmysoft.com/drivers/Lexmark-X4550-1-0-11-1-printer-driver.html

Just click the download button and install it.

Have a great day!

I need to install HP deskjet 6940 on my Powerbook G4. I am operating on MAX OSX 10.4.6

If your printer does not appear in the Printer pop-up menu, find and install the appropriate driver. Check any CD-ROM discs included with the printer, or the website of your printer's manufacturer. Only users with an administrator account can install software.

Tip: You can also open the Printer List window from Printer Center (Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier) or the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, or later).

Check the Printer menu again after installing the software. If the printer does not appear, you may need to do this:

How to add a network printer (AppleTalk or LPR)

Adding an AppleTalk or LPR network printer is very similar to adding a USB printer. In Step 4 above, you would choose AppleTalk or "LPR Printers using IP" from the pop-up menu. From there, the setup differs slightly.

AppleTalk printer
  • AppleTalk must be enabled in Network preferences.
  • If your network uses AppleTalk zones, choose one from a second pop-up menu that appears.
  • Make sure to avoid potential issues with AppleTalk multi-homing.

LPR printer
  • You must enter the printer's IP address or DNS name.
  • If you're printing to a queue, deselect the checkbox for "Use Default Queue on Server", then type the queue's name. If not, leave the checkbox selected.
  • You can select your printer from the Printer Model menu or leave it at Generic. In essence, are selecting a PPD file.

Question mark appears, or trouble finding a printer?

If you can't find the printer you want to add in the list of connection methods, make sure you're choosing the right connection type for your printer. Some printers may use custom input-output modules, such as "Epson AppleTalk". You may need to select one of these custom options in order to add your printer. If there's a question mark on the printer's icon, or Print Center or Print Setup Utility lists it as unsupported, check for an updated software version at the manufacturer's website, or the Mac OS X downloads page.

Tip for software installation

Your printer may appear in the printer list before manufacturer-required software is installed. If you have such a printer, remove the printer from your printer list before installing the software. Add the printer back to the list after you've installed the software.
