RE: An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error -9672

I am trying to add my HP 8450xi to my Printer List via Print Utility and get the following message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error -9672." I have tried everything, and this printer is only 2 years old. I was able to load an HP 69080 which is about 2 months old, and my Lanier LD232C drivers. Any ideas?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5), 7 Other Macs plus Xserve

I was having this same error code when trying to print through Airport Extreme Base Station and a Canon Pixma IP4000. I unplugged my base station to reset it, and also went in to Airport Utility and did the a set up again. After that my printer was recognized in Printer Setup when attempting to print a document as a Bonjour printer, and is printing just fine now. So my suggestion is to do a reset of your Airport Extreme.

My HP 8450Xi is connected to my LAN [ethernet]. While I do have an Airport Card in my Mac Pro, and two airport base stations active for laptops, it is disabled. What is strange, I was able to load the drivers for a newer HP Network Deskjet 6980xi (Driver version 4.0.2), although it took a couple of times before it would successfully load, but could not figure out why it worked and the 8450xi (Driver 2.5.5) did not. Also, the 4.0.2 driver would not work with the 8450.

Try installing your printer using the "More Printers" option. When I tried this option, it was able to find the Epson suppled drivers. The sequence that has worked for me: Reset Printers -> Download latest epson drivers -> install using the "More Printers" option. Doing this, the Leopard's printer installer was able to find the factory drivers. So far it has worked with the PRO4000PE and R1800
