Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPrint requires OS X Lion (OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), so you can't use it with OS X 10.5. Anyway, open > About this Mac, and tell me what version you are running, just to make sure that you are running a supported Mac OS X version

HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air
Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
Can you help resolving this please? ThanksWhat router are you using? Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?
If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC -
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air
Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Found cure for Acrobat 9 not able to select Printer in Page setup.
This may already be covered in another thread. In fact I used this as suggestion to cure another problem in another thread. That was related to editing files in Acrobat 9. It cures this problem I brought up on forum a week after I installed acrobat 9.
Every since I purchased by download Acrobat 9, I have been unable to slect a Printer in the Page setup. when clicking any printer your supposed to see a drop down list of all the print Drivers you have installed. I got
nothing.
I downloaded and installed Reader 9.0. Low and behold I am now able to select the desired printer. in Reader 9
and Acrobat 9.
So anyone having these issues. download and install Reader even if you never use it. The installer evidently inserts some code they forgot to put in Acrobat 9.Well, come to find out. It works on my G4-500 as stated on my OSX.4.11 Drive. But I updated on my Firewire drive and still have same issue with Acrobat. But Reader I am able to set printer.
On my PowerBook 17 G4-1.67Gb Laptop neither works I don't know what to do. adobe is no help. -
I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air using an external DVD drive via USB. The computer is asking for my password to authorize changes to the system. I don't htink I ever put one on the computer and "admin" and "password" don't work. Is there a default password? Or a way to change a password that has been forgotten, wothout resetting the computer and wiping everything out? Thanks.
Many thanks. As it happens, I wen to the local Apple Store today for an appointment with a "genius". She helped me reset the password. And as I look at the screens on the page that you connected me to, they're the same as the genius used. So your suggesstion was right on the money, and now I'm all set. Thanks again.

I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.
"/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
(with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
Enter a name for your computer.
Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print! -
Problems printing from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120
Hi,
I am really getting very frustrated as trying to print from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120.
I have downloaded from the HP website the software which is compatible with OS X 10.9.4 and installed it. My printer is also connected to my Wifi router and prints off a test report and also I can print from my ipad.
When I install the software and it goes to look for the printer - nothing is found.
Any ideas as I am pulling my hair out now.
Helen

need to be able to setup printing for my Ipad2. How do I find the instructions. THe printer is installed and capable, but I do not see it from either my iPad2 OR iphone 4. Please advise.
1. Make sure you've updated the printer firmware and successfully printed the test sheet from the printer.
2. Make sure that your iPad is on the same network as your printer.
3. Try printing from an app. To print this page from Safari, for example, go to the rectangle with the right- facing arrow on the toolbar, choose Print from the drop down menu, select your printer, and click Print.
Printing in apps is usually under the rectangle-arrow symbol, but is also sometimes found under the wrench- "tools" symbol. -
I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air
Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air. I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on. This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home. Please Help asap! Thank you, Tracey
traceyss--this might work on mac air: on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on." then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain: so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55
