Q: Cannot printer share in Mavericks
Upgraded iMac and MacBook Air to Mavericks. Now both on 10.9.2.
The iMac can print to my HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 as always. It still has "Share this printer on the network" ticked. But now I cannot print from the Air.
I removed the printer on the Air and added it back, but get "Unable to download the software from the server at this time."
I therefore downloaded all HP printer drivers and rather than selecting the printer from the "Nearby Printers" list, clicked "Add Printer or Scanner ...", selected the printer there, waited for "Gathering printer information", clicked Use _ Select Software, and picked the selected the printer in question. Clicked Add.
I go to print something, and I get "Printing - Printing page 1, 34% complete...". And that's where it sits.
Help. Any ideas most welcome. Thanks in advance.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
