Did you install the drivers? Or have Software Update install them? This printer is supported:

  • How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor.  At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on.  I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
    If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
    Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable.  If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes.  It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

  • How can I keep my macbook pro running 10.9.2 from continually freezing?

    My macbook pro running OSX 10.9.2 freezes randomly, sometimes before the computer has completely booted up.  I have no startup programs. Please help.

  • How can i get a macbook pro in the caribbean especially trinidad and tobago

    I have been a pc user for years and I am tired of them not living up to standard. I viewed the presentations about macbook pro and I am wondering why I never used it before.
    Anyway I am a teacher and loved what I saw the the iwork software was capable of but I have no where of accessing a store to purchase one. Is there any way I could get access to purchasing one?
    In Trinidad and Tobago pc's arepopular but I think if teachers got a chance to experience the capabilities of a mac they would switch. Any ideas on how I can get one?

    You can look for an actual Apple Authorized Reseller here - http://www.apple.com/lae/buy/ 
    Trinidad & Tobago are listed in the first "find a reseller" list there, so there should be some.
    see https://locate.apple.com/tt/en/ - I entered Port of Spain here and it popped up with at least 6 resellers.

  • How can i make my macbook pro run faster? seems slower then usual. :(

    okay, so my macbook pro lately seems to be going slow, well, its been gradually getting worse and worse.
    i am getting the rainbow wheel thingy just about every time i click onto a new button.
    i have SOPHOS (antivirus) installed, have never installed any antivirus or mackeeper ****.
    i usually only have safari and maybe itunes open.
    2.2GHz Intel Core i7     8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM (MEMORY)      OSX 10.8.4     15 inch screen     350GB free hard drive space
    ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • How can i get my MacBook Pro to output a 120 hZ signal to my TV?

    I have a 2012 MacBook pro and an Insignia 120 Hz television.  I would like to watch movies/play games on my TV in 120 hertz.  What cables do i need, and what do i have to do to get this to work.  It currently shows that the highest refresh rate i can reach in the display settings is 60 Hz.  Is this because of the cables i'm using?  I currently have the rocketfish minidisplay to hdmi adapter hooked up to a hdmi cable to the tv.  I have read other discussions relating to this issue but they got congested with people's personal issues.  An approach i saw to getting this to work was by getting the Mini-Display port to Dual-Link DVI adapter. If this is the best means of accomplishing my goals, where do i go from there?  And please, no bull****.  If you know the answer/could help, help; if you don't know the answer, don't post. 
    Thanks!

    You have to format it first using Disk Utility.

  • How can i get my macbook pro to automatically login and open the server

    I apologize if this question has been asked before.  I am new to MAC and know almost nothing about configuring them.
    I have a windows server 2003 that I am networked with.  When I boot my Macbook Pro I have to manually connect to the server.  How can I make my laptop do this automatically?

    Add it in the Users & Groups, Login Items area.

  • How can I get a Macbook (pro) with numpad other than buying a second handed

    Actually,
    I am currently using a Macbook (2,1)
    and i bought it because i thought i had a low demand of graphics, displays, etc.
    And i planned to buy a Macbook Pro in several years.
    However,
    after MONTHS,
    Apple Inc, kills numpad, and i was totally shocked and keep searching for any manufacturer or Apple Inc. itself would allow special hardware request.
    By the way.
    what is "full sized keyboard" actually means?
    does it mean just the qwerty keyboard?
    I was really disappointed with the new keyboard design.
    I believed some of the mac users did the same.

    i really hope someone could and i know you understand numpad is numpad, not just numbers.
    i think if the people in the design group or whatever name it is, do use the numpad, or understand how i numpad would actually affect some of the people. apple inc would just keep it.
    maybe you'll say.
    "oh well, time passes. several years later, numpad will be totally illuminated. we are actually making trend of the computer technology!"
    but then so you mean you can actually cut the fn key, change the arrow keys, etc.
    its kind of sad.
    i knew you understand.
    like the new keyboards has those fastforward, play, rewind keys.
    but those are actually optional you can still set universal hot keys if they are eluminated, and also our beloved apple remote did the same (i mean the ones we are now having)
    however numpad is compulsory functional in some extent, there is no way to access numpad other than using the "Keyboard Viewer".((**slowly clicking**))
    and i believed some of the businessman demand them so well.
    why people just cant leave windows?
    its all about compatibility.
    applications are more and more made for mac.
    but now we have some awkward jagged decision made here just now.
    numpad is kind of the vital function to like at least 10% of the people in the world who use computers.
    there is only one reason i can think of if you say so.
    maybe that is a strategy to keep Mac computers up high in the sky,
    so they, oops, cut users by cutting numpad incidentally.

  • How can i make my macbook pro run faster?

    My macbook is running super slow. The spinning beach ball appears every thirty seconds and it's annoying. I ran the verify disk permissions and verify disk twice and nothing helps. Please help me

    Verily only checks the disks. It does nothing beyond that.
    How much free space does the system disk have?

  • How do I restore my MacBook Pro running Lion to factory settings? I don't want to keep anything on the hard drive.

    I am running Lion and know how to get to my Mac OS X Utilities but I cannot figure out how to do a full factory setting restart like I have done the past with the OS disks. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Use disk utility to format your hard drive then reinstall Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion) on to the hard drive. 

  • How do I get my MacBook Pro, running OS10.9, to recognize USB audio?

    The audio source I'm using is an M-Audio Audiophile USB box. 
    I tried downloading the driver from here:
    http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support&tab=driver&serie_ID=6&PID=41cf7347b2 0eff77b69588578a74aa58&OS=x114#tabs
    But when I double-click the executable, it says it won't launch because it's from an "unidentified" developer.
    In desperation, I then tried this:
    http://download.cnet.com/USB-Audio-ASIO-driver/3000-2120_4-6405.html
    But it appears to be designed for Mac OS9, and won't open.
    Any ideas?  I can't imagine the modern OSX10.9 operating system simply won't support USB audio sources.
    Thanks.

    In the system preferences under the security & privacy section click the Lock icon and type in your password. Then in the section for "Allow Apps downloaded from:" area tick the Anywhere entry. Your app and drivers will now install.

  • I am trying to format a new external hard drive. It is attached via a USB 2.0 docking station. It does not show up in Disk Utility or Terminal, but does show up in System Profiler. How can I get my MacBook Pro to recognise it?

    I need help trying to format an external hard drive. My Mac won't recognise it anywhere other than System Profiler.

    The problem is that it is a Western Digital 3.5 inch internal hard drive housed inside a hard drive caddy. So the only way to connect it to my computer is through a dock.

  • How can i charge my macbook pro with a inverter

    how can i get my macbook pro to charge using a inverter sometimes it will charge and sometimes it wont works fine when plugged into a ac outlet in my home

    Although that may be true with some inverters it is not for all of them. If the inverter can get enough power to invert you can run a power saw off them, depending on the size of the inverter.
    Problems start because people buy the lowest cost unit they "THINK" will work based on the printed specs when in fact they need a bigger unit.

  • How can i get a macbook with the configration i want from apple retail store so that i can benefit from tax free service at the airport ?

    hi all, i just want to know how can i get a MacBook pro with the configuration i want from apple retail store (in Munich) and not by order it online because in this case i will not be able to benefit from Global blue service for tax free from the airport when i leave Germany. 
    thanks in advance.

    You should have probably found out more specifically from the Apple Store just how you could do it online. The obvious solution is to order it from the Apple Danish website store, but I don't know if they ship internationally.
