Trying to mount a driver for HP P2055dn laser printer on a G4. Keep getting the message "New printer detected. Would you like to reload the browser?"/ Doesn't matter if I press cancel or OK nothing happens. I'm using a USB cable (not networked).
Setting up a printer is a two step process.
1) Installing the driver software puts the driver software pieces where OS X expects to find them.
2) Adding a printer in System Prefs > Print & Fax sets up a print queue, so OS X knows which connection type it is using, and which driver gets associated with that printer.
Have you done those two steps?
("mounting printer driver" doesn't really fit this process.
Very grateful for the reply. To answer: Yes the driver software was installed successfully. But when I try to add a printer in System Prefs> Print & Fax nothing shows up except the "New printer drivers detected" message. Am I missing some other step?
Thanks for a clearer explanation.
As soon as you get that message (you may have to click OK or something), go up to the Printer Setup menu and find "Reset Printing System."
Then try adding again.
