MacBook can't select printer (even though it is detected)

[louietien]

So, I didn't know any forum elsewhere where I could post this.
I know this is mostly a PC related forum, but as written above, I didn't know anywhere else.

Anyway, so I recently bought a MacBook for schoolwork etc. and for some reason, I can't print via the printer at home. All the PC's in the house are capable of printing, but my Mac for some reason can't.

When I try to print, it tells me to "select printer" but the printer isn't an option there.
I however already have found the printer in System Preferences.

The forum Ask Different is a popular forum for all Apple products, if you want to go there. So are you trying to connect the printer over a network or are you directly connected to the printer? I might be wrong, but there should be a '+' icon for adding printers in the 'Print & Fax' menu GUI, from which you add a usable printer to the system's list of supported printer devices. Also look at the printer manufacturer's website for Macintosh OS support and drivers, as Apple may not be able to provide a driver for that printer, though that's fairly unlikely.

I already looked up the driver, and there are drivers for Mac OSX, however, not for the newest version, which I am running. I already have installed the drivers for the older version, though with no result.

I am connecting with network, and it does exist there, but whenever I try to select the printer, it doesn't show up.
On one of the provided screenshot you can see the "+" button and the listed printer, that should already be there.
On the other screenshot you can see me attempting to select the actual printer, and it doesn't show up.
It tells me to select a printer from the list, but no printer shows up, even though I have already added the printer under System Preferences.

- I'll try to ask on "Ask Different"
