Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer.  Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet.  Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air.  I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air.  Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP.  Any suggestions?

Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

  • HP900 Inkjet - Cannot print from Macbook air 2014

    Hi
    I have a HP900 inkjet printer connected via a Windows PC on my network.
    I can see and connect to that printer from my MacBook via the network (by connecting to the PC).
    But unable to select the correct drivers. Hence unable to print.
    Connected the printer directly to my MacBook air using an USB cable.
    Didn’t recognise.
    My preference is to use it though the network via the windows PC.
    Much appreciated if you could help me to get this issue resolved.
    Thank you.

    Hi ielk,
    Thank you for your reply!
    After some further research I found that this printer is not compatible with Mac. That is why you cannot find any drivers.
    According to this drivers page, HP 900 Inkjet Printer Drivers, this printer is only supported on, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista (32-Bit and 64-bit).
    If you are looking for a compatible printer, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
    Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!

  • I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

    I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

    That is correct.  Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
    However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work.  Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
    OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
    You must be using supported devices:
    OS X Yosemite: supported devices for Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Phone Calling, SMS, and AirDrop

  • HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

    My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion.  I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion.  I added a new printer from the System Preferences.  The printer will print sometimes.  Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print.  I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity.  That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything.  I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion.  Can anyone help me here?

    Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

  • Cant print from macbook air

    I am trying to print a test page from my macbook air to an hp J6480, the print queue keeps saying hold for authentification.  On a side symbol, when clicked on, its asking for the username and password.  I have used every name and password, so how can I delete this so I can print?

    Hi brownie3200,
    I understand that you are having a problem printing from your MacBook Air to the HP Officejet J6480 printer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. I think that the printer needs to be reset on the network.
    In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection: http://bit.ly/1kAFqm0 are steps in Solution three to reconnect your printer ot the wireless network.
    I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

  • DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE WIFI CONNECTION OVERTIME YOU PRINT FROM MACBOOK AIR

    Do i have to keep changing my wifi connection from computer to printer each time I want to print from the mac book air?

    Not if you followed the setup instructions for use of the Mac with the wi-fi enabled printer...
    There likely is more than one way to use the printer via wi-fi. If your computer already
    had the drivers installed for the printer, or went online to get a download, the results
    may vary. Settings are the key. It may also be seen as a Bonjour printer, if not direct.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Cannot print from macbook pro to printer connected to vista pc

    My window PC broke and I changed it. My new PC runs window vista 64 bit. My new printer, connected to my new PC, is a HP Deskjet F4480. I have 4 PCs in the house. All PCs can print on my HP printer thru my home network EXCEPT MY MACKBOOK PRO that, for unknown reasons, cannot see the printer. My macbook pro runs mac os X version 10.6.1 (the new mac leopar). I call apple support. They are telling me that they cannot support me because they dont know anything about windows. Can someone help me?

  • CANNOT PRINT FROM MACBOOK PRO TO CANON PRO 9000

    Hi, this is my first post here. i expect this has been asked before, but here goes. Yesterday i tried to connect my MACbook pro to my CANON pro 9000.I have tried everything i can think of
    without success.
    I have downloaded print drives from CANON,still does not print.
    i have uninstalled the printer and added it again,still does not print.In console log i just keep getting filter error, coming up.
    I am completely at a loss now, i am also new to MAC'S i have only had it for two months, so still learning.
    therefor, i don't know if i am doing something wrong,or if there is a fault somewhere.The printer itself works fine with a PC.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated,
    thank you.

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

    Thanks to searching the community I have got a result. Power off and reboot (press front home button together with top right button) = air print is now recognising my Canon air printer. This reboot is useful for clearing similar types of problems.

  • Cannot ping or print from MacBook...

    I'm having a really strange issue where I cannot print from my MacBook wired or wireless, I can, however, ping and print from my iMac. They are both connected to the same router/wap. I cannot ping anything from the MacBook when it is wired or wireless! All other network functions work normally though, I can access the internet and screen share over my local network... but I cannot ping to or from the MacBook.. weird eh? Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

    Have you tried to log in as a different user then trying from there. If you do not have a different user just create one...
    Go to Sys Pref/accounts then click on the lock at the bottom left corner put in the admin password then the plus button at the bottom left of accounts window will become active, press it to create a new account.
    If the ping and print work from that account then you'll know the problem is not OSX globally, at it may be fix by trashing some .plist? Not sure which ones yet.

  • TS2634 I cannot print from my ipad. The wireless is connected, I have no trouble printing from my computer. When the ipad looks for the printer it comes back with the message. "Air printer not found" What can I do to correct this? P S Ipad2 is only 1 mont

    I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

    ... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
    I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
    Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.
