Printers missing after updating to Mojave
Immediately after updating from High Sierra to Mojave, around the end of October 2018, everything seemed to be working normally until I tried to print. The print window of the app I was in would not load. I opened System Preferences and checked my installed Printers. After a long wait, the Printers preference window opened and all three of my installed printers were missing. Before getting into a panic, I did a "Restart..." of the computer, and then went right to Preferences >> Printers, same issue, no printers in the list.
I searched the online community for assistance, but finding none, I decided to try one more thing.
1. Select "Shut down..." from the Apple menu
2. Wait a minute and then turn the computer back on.
3. Log in.
4. Check System Preferences >> Printers, and voila! the previously installed printers have reappeared.
On an ongoing basis, (even today) if a "Restart..." is undertaken, the printers still go missing. However, after a "Shut down...", turning the computer back on and logging in the printers have reappeared.
