Sure enough, next time I go to print, it has the new printer selected in the Destination box and works just fine! Lots of choices, right?įor this fix, I’m going to choose “HP PageWide Pro 577 MFP”, knowing that next time I go to print in Chrome it’ll use the most recently chosen printer (e.g., fix the problem with HP_Pro_577_MFP). You undoubtedly have different printers available than I do, but notice the (typical) printer confusion here: There’s a local ‘raw’ printer, but there’s the same printer accessible through secure AirPrint too! And the Fax shows up as a different device too. Instead, click on the printer’s name on “Destination” to see all your options:Īs highlighted, you want to choose “ See more…” to proceed. What to do? One solution would be to use the option “ Print using system dialog” assuming that the printer is properly configured in MacOS X itself (which will need to be the case before you can fix the Chrome problem), but that doesn’t really fix the problem, it just sidesteps it. Still, I was viewing a page and pressed File > Print on the Mac just to see this error message in lieu of a preview: I recently had a similar hiccup on my own MacBook Pro, but I was trying to diagnose a connectivity problem on the network and disconnected and reconnected the printer too, so it was probably user error.

If you see this happen multiple times then you’ve got a more serious problem but it’s likely that something got an upgrade (and remember, modern printers are on the network and could get driver updates without you even being involved) and that’s why it broke. How? Just delete the printer and re-add it as a new device. In this instance, there are a number of things that could have caused your copy of Google Chrome to be unable to see your printer, but while diagnosing the problem might be a pain, fixing it is easy.
Part of the fun of computers is that there are random things that happen, leaving us puzzled and wondering what we broke.
