Greetings, RWP4.


Thank you for consulting the Apple Support Communities. Being able to print is important, so it’s understandable you’d want to resolve the issue with the error message. 


To start, can you confirm that you’re following the steps in the following article? Add a printer on Mac


If so and the issue persists, consider answering the following questions. 


  • Which macOS are you using?
  • What type of printer are you using?
  • Has the printer ever worked before?


Warmly.
