Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
     a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
     b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
     Restart your Mac.
3. 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.

    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.

    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!

  • Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

    Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
    I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

    > Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
    But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
    > If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
    Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

    Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey @Geneferg,
    Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
    To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
    Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

    Your router does not support printing through the USB port.  It only supports USB hard drives.

  • Help printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro to Canon MP640?

    I can't print from my new MacBook Pro (running 10.9.1) to my Canon MP640. I installed the latest driver (10.84.2.0) correctly, I think, and the printer has WiFi connection and I can print via a PC on my wireless network, but MacBook doesn't see it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi bannyx,
    I hate to hear you are having issues.  Does the printer have a valid IP address when connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?  Click Here for steps to take related to this issue. Please see the below information regarding the connection types for this printer.  Also I need a bit more information to proceed if the above link does not resolve the issue.
    Needed information:
    1.  Has the installation been completed from a disk or download?
    2.  Did the installation software detect the networked printer?
    2.  What is the IP of the printer when connected with Ethernet cable?
    3.  Are you able to access the embedded web server for the printer (type IP into address bar of web browser, does printer web page pull)?
    4.  Do you have security software running on the computer?
    5.  Is the router running in mixed mode?
    Connection information:
    1. Ethernet and wireless connectivity are exclusive.  If the device is hard wired with an Ethernet cable, wireless communication is voided (radio disabled) because the printer is networked with a cable. 
    2. Disconnecting the USB cable puts the driver in an offline state due to the fact it cannot communicate with the printer.  This is normal; it basically informs the user the device is not communicating. 
    Hope this helps!
    Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.
    Please select the "Accept as Solution" button on the post that best answers your question.
    I appreciate your input !
    Thank You,

  • Printing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    Just got a MacBook Pro a few weeks ago. We have an HP PhotoSmart C7180 wireless printer, and I can't figure out how to "connect" the MacBook to the printer wirelessly. The MacBook recognizes the printer when I plug it in, and I connected the printer to my FIOS wireless network that I have. However, when I go to print wirelessly, I get a message saying my printer is off-line.
    I no longer use my AirPort Extreme Base Station because you don't need it with FIOS, which comes with its own wireless network. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try deleting the printer from the Printers setting (the one that you set up when it's connected directly to your Mac). And then, add a new printer, it should find your printer in the network (if it's connected to the network properly). Add that printer and choose the correct driver.

  • Canon MX860 get error 300 when printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    I've been printing wirelessly for several years and most recently after an upgrade to OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite it was printing fine until this morning. Something changed and I get error 300 when I try to print. If I connect my MacBook to the Canon MX860 printer using the USB cord it prints fine so I'm assuming it's some sort of wireless connection issue. I powered down and up both the printer and the Macbook and still get the error. I tried the "Reset Printer System" from the System Preferences and now I can't add the printer back in. I tried using the CD that came with the printer to reinstall the wireless connection and the set-up program says it's incompatible with my operating system and refuses to run. Any assistance to help me print wirelessly again would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    After further investigation, we believe this is due to an intermittent  modem problem and is not the fault of the printer or MacBook.

  • Cannot sync notes from MacBook Pro w/Mavericks

    I've had no problems sharing Notes info between my MacBook Pro and iCloud until just recently.  Now the Notes app on my MacBook Pro will not connect with iCloud.  My other devices, iMac, iPhone, and iPad, all communicate with iCloud, but not the MacBook.  When I open Notes in the MacBook it says "updating" which goes on seemingly forever without capturing the notes that I know are in iCloud, as verified by going to icloud.com.  Also, in Mail, when running the Mail Connection Doctor everything connects ok except for iCloud IMAP, which is what Notes uses.  The details posted for the failed connection are
    INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 09 20:32:55.268 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000

    which seems to indicate that a connection to iCloud via imap is, in fact, made, but yet I get the failed connection red dot, and don't get any download of the Notes data stored in iCloud.  Driving me nuts.  I've tried shutting down Notes, unchecking Notes, restarting the computer in hopes of forcing a connection, all with no luck so far.  Driving me nuts. 

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

  • Installed mountain lion, now I cannot print wirelessly from imac or macbook

    I installed mountain lion. I updated as much as there is to update via software. Now when I try to print wirelessly from my imac and macbook pro it says "unalbe to find printer" and printer is not connected from both computers.
    I reconfigured the Brother MFC 7840W printer settings and it says that it is connected. I've always been able to print before, so this is related to the new ML installation.

    also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

  • I cannot print wirelessly from my macbook air

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my macbook air 256gb. We have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. It works fine printing when I plug my computer into the cord that is connected to the printer. but without the cord, it says the printer is "offline". I am wondering if the only way to print is if I connect it with the cord, or if i can somehow print wirelessly that I do not know about. thanks!

  • I have a cd rom for my italian class, which I cannot open on my macbook pro with mavericks installed, someone said I need Rosetta! Help please

    I have a cd rom for my italian class, but am unable to load it on my macbook pro with Mavericks installed.
       Someone has said i need Rosetta, but understand that Apple stopped installing this!1
      Can anyone suggest anything to help me??

    Many educational CDs have not been upgraded due to lack of funds in the educational market to pay for the such updates.
    This situation is due primarily to the fact that one of the major political parties in this country favors tax cuts to the rich while cutting federal educational support funding (or eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether).
    However, you can restore Rosetta and run your educational CD if you install Snow Leopard Server ($20) into Parallels (up to $79) for use in Lion/Mt. Lion/Mavericks:
