How can I find the Mac Hard Drive Icon in Finder?

Why don't I see an Icon for my Mac HD in Finder? Also, should there be a file "Printer Setup Utility" in the Utility file?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

To show Macintosh HD in the Finder sidebar, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and tick "Hard disks". It will show in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".

If you want to show it in Desktop, open Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "Hard disks".

Respecting to Printer Setup Utility, it doesn't come by default in OS X Mountain Lion. After adding a printer, it's possible that some printer utilities get added, and one of them may be Printer Setup Utility

Click on the Desktop, then select Preferences from the Finder's Finder menu. Click on the General icon in the toolbar and check the boxes for what you wish displayed on the Desktop.

Printers are setup using the Print & Scsn preferences of System Preferences.
