Network Printer Setup Issues

[Yte_Kght]

All,

Here is my setup ..

Macbook Pro
OSX 10.8.4

2 Network Printers (1 HP on the Home Network and 1 Brother on my Work Network)

Home and Work Networks are isolated and not connected to each other. I connect to both networks over WiFi and have a dynamically assigned IP address.

Issue:

I recently had problems with the Brother Printer and had to reset the printer subsystem on the Mac. Needless to say, this erased the setup I had for both the printers.

After the reset of the printer subsystem, hard reboot of the Mac, I was expecting the printers to show up in list (depending on the network I am connected to) when I go the Print and Scan Preferences and choose the '+' at the bottom left hand corner. For some wierd reason, I do not see them.

Any ideas as to what might be going on.

I know I can manually add the printers, so I can get over the immediate issue. I am concerned if there is some other inherent problem that I should address.

Let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Nick

Hi Nick,

I would try resetting your NVRAM first, to save a long post if you have not done this before have a look here.

Also make sure your home network is first on the list within SP - print/ scan settings.
