The following document outlines steps for manually uninstalling the software for printers, both host-based and postscript drivers.
NOTE: Run the uninstaller program for the printer, if there is one, before performing any of these steps.
Host-based vs. postscript printers
Host-based printers have printer processing software installed on the Macintosh, while postscript printers have simply a PPD (Postscript Printer Description) file. It is important to keep this terminology straight, so that there is no confusion as to what is actually being removed. For host-based printers, run the uninstall program, if there is one, that is included as part of the installer. Postscript printers do not have un-install programs.

( 3.1 / 50 )First Step: Setup the IP address, subnet, default gateway and turn on appletalk on printer or copier.
Second Step: Download and unpack print driver. Basically this means that it runs through its setup procedures. Unlike windows, this step does not install the printer. It only adds the driver data to the printer library. The following tutorials details how to actually make use of this library entry to install an ip printer...
Fourth Step: now that you have installed your print driver... you might end up in a situation where you only have access to tray one... if thats the case then goto http://localhost:631 and go edit your print driver to your satisfaction. If for some reason you are unable to edit your CUPS settings via localhost then try this fix

( 3 / 87 )Problem: After updating from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard the installed printer driver for the Kyocera-postscript driver does not work anymore. Here it’s an Kyocera Mita FS-2000D … but it should also work with other models. The printer diver was installed under Leopard and worked quite well. After finishing the update to 10.6 you are able to send a print job to the printer, but an error message shows up in the print queue.
Diagnosis:There are incorrect file permissions under Snow Leopard for the Kyocera printer driver … and this causes some trouble.
Solution:You can easily fix the problem by one command in the Terminal:
1. Log into your Mac as an administrator.
2. Open the program “Terminal” – you’ll find it under “Programs/Utilities”.
3. Input the following command into the appearing command-line window and finish it with pressing the return-key:
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/libexec/cups/filter/kyofilter
4. Now, you’ll be prompted for your password … so put in your password of the admin account and finish the input by pressing the return key again
5. That’s it. Just Close the Terminal program. Now printing on the Kyocera printer should be work like a charm.
