You might experience issues such as these when you try to print from your Mac or print from your iOS device:
You can't see your printer from your device, or you get a message that no printers were found.
You get a message that software for your device isn't available.
You have some other printing issue related to the software on your Mac or iOS device.
However, you want to be absolutely sure that the installation isn't still running in the background because forcibly rebooting the Mac during an installation will interrupt the installation process.
For help with an error light or other error condition on the printer itself, check the printer's documentation or contact its manufacturer.
