Unplug your printer and reinstall printer software first then any drivers. Check printer website to see if there is an uninstall printer driver software, go through the uninstall then install software then drivers and then plug in printer.
I uninstalled everything, then installed everything and in the middle of the install, finder brought up an error saying "operation can't be completed, error code -43" but the install finishes everything. When it is done it still doesn't recognize the printer, and yet it is listed under system preferences - printer/fax
