Q: Adding shared printer to MBP, can't load software.

Trying to add a shared printer to a MacBook Pro (10.7.5) through Print & Scan. Upon adding the 'nearby' printer to the list of printers, Mac says, "Setting up [the printer]. Obtaining the software…" After a couple of minutes it apparently times out, saying, "Unable to download the software from the server at this time." The only option then is to cancel the process.

 

How can I put the Print & Scan preference panel in touch with the software it seeks?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5), Airport Extreme LAN, Epson printer
