I need to add a printer to my "new" used iMac 09 running El Capitan. The printer is an HP Laserjet 3050. From what I read on line, they are compatible. The internet connection is via a modem and ethernet cable. I did all the updates, then connected the printer to the computer. It sees the printer and lists it, but I can't add it because the add button is grayed out. There are three blanks under the list (name, location, use) but it will not allow me to put anything on those lines. I tried searching the forums with no luck. The installation disk I have only works with ppc Macs.
[doublepost=1496074499][/doublepost]I got it to work! In case anyone else has the same problem, I double clicked on the name of the printer. The three lines filled themselves in, the add button un-grayed, and the printer now works just fine.
