How do I Connect a F4580 to an imac using a Virgin Netgear Hub

I have just tried to connect the printer to a new imac and I am able to print using the USB cable but when I disconnect this I cannot find the printer on my network.   I have read several threads and many mention using the installation CD.   The imac doesn't have a disc drive and the driver I have downloaded comes from Apple Software Updates.  
I do not understand how to connect the printer to the wifi.   The Mac Airport utility cannot find the printer.   Surely I will somehow need to enter the network name and password but I have not been through a set-up process which requires this and do not understand how to initiate one.
I have taken hours and achieved nothing so far so I am now very frustrated!!   Help would be much appreciated!!

If indeed you have a Netgear Hub, then that is the wrong piece of network equipment.  If it is a Virgin Netgear router, then that will work.  The connection must use a router.
Unfortunately, there is no software from HP to help you install this printer (assuming your new iMac has OS 10.8).  So, we will have to do it manually:
1. Reset the printer.  Pull the power cord out of the back of the printer for 30 seconds.
2. When the printer turns back on, on your Mac look for a wireless network that begins with 'hp", likely "hpsetup".  Join it.
3. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer.  Note its IP address.
4. Type that IP address into Safari web browser.
5. Navigate to the Network or Wireless tab and look for Wireless Setup Wizard.  Run it.
6. Finally, connect your Mac back to your regular wireless network, go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and add the printer with the '+' sign.

    Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

  • How do I connect my HDTV to an iMac when the distance is arround 15 meters between the iMac and the TV (HD)?

    For instance: Can I use an adapter between the Minidisplay cable and a 15 meter long HDMI cable?
    Or could AppleTV be a (wireless) solution to the problem? Can AppleTV only interface sound to an amplifier through the optical interface? Are there adapters between optical and good old phono connectors available?
    I guess I could also use a Mac mini, which has an HDMI port. But since I want an Apple monitor with a Mac Mini and 27" is too big for my work place, I can't seem to find a smaler Apple display than the 27"Thunderbolt or LED Cinema screens. Is that really so? No smaller Apple displays available any more?
    If none of the above solutions are good: I am open to all good suggestions to how I can have a Mac workstation (iMac, Mac Mini, others) that is also connected to my HDTV, 15 meters away from the workstation.

  • How do you connect ipad 2 to itunes library using home sharing

    How do you connect the ipad 2 to the itunes library using home sharing so you can listen on your ipad 2? I've seen directions for the ipad which tell you how to setup home sharing then open ipod and touch library in the left column, but when I hit library, nothing happens. I'm assuming the ipad 2 has something different about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS, the OS is 4.3.3 (just got it but it's not on the os list)

    See iTunes 9- Understanding Home Sharing and iTunes- Troubleshooting Home Sharing.  Also, open iTunes, select iTunes Help from the Help menu and search for "home shar."

    Who can help?

    Hi
    I have not used asp.net with CS4, due to it using an old version of the framework, so unfortunately I cannot really help in solving the problem. But I can remember having a similar problem with DW8, a tutorial for connecting to the database in DW8 is - http://www.webdesign.org/html-and-css/tutorials/asp-net-in-dreamweaver-8.7367.html. I also seem to remember that the connection required the old, (very old) Jet4 access database connector to be installed to work correctly.
    These problems, and the fact that MS keeps updating the framework every year or so, (which are often not backwardly compatible) are why I use Visual Studio for .net C# sites, and no longer actively develop them, but I must admit I still prefer C# to PHP.

  • HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?

    i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.

    In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

  • How can I connect to an oracle database remotely using telnet in DIAdem?

    I need to query an oracle database on a remote server and store the result back in DIAdem. Does anyone know how to telnet through diadem and return the result?

    DIAdem provides you with tools to connect to databases using SQL. Specifically, you can use SQL_Connect to open a connection to a database through a DSN (Data Source Name). The DSN has to be configured on the local machine (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools - > Data Sources) and has to point to the remote Database. You can map a network drive in the local machine so you can browse to your remote Database. The DSN will provide the link between DIAdem and the remote Database.
    If your communication has to be throught telnet, then I suggest you try to use an ActiveX control. VBScript doesn't support Telnet natively, but it does support ActiveX controls. You can create one from Visual Basic or try to find a telnet client that has one already.

  • How do I connect my 2011 27 inch iMac to my HDTV

    I want to connect my iMac to my HDTV

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The HDTV has a HDMI port which you can use to connect your computer to your HDTV. In order to connect the Mac to your TV, first you have to buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (your computer has got a Thunderbolt port, but it's compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters). Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4241
    Also, buy a HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV. After connecting the HDMI cable to both, image will start being shown on the TV

  • How can I connect an ADC to an iMac G4 with mini-VGA port?

    I have an Apple Studio Display monitor that I want to connect to my iMac G4 that has a mini-VGA port. I have the ADC to DVI adapter, but cannot find any adapters that go from DVI to mini-VGA. Please help!
    I "inherited" these devices for work from a different university. They originally used the extra monitor with a PowerBook G4 that has a DVI port. But I would rather use it with the iMac - is it at all possible???
    Thanks!
    iMac PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.0 GHz 768MB DDR SDRAM

    Hi,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Depending on the age of the iMac G4 depends on what outputs are possible:
    700/800MHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port
    1.0/1.25GHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port or Mini VGA to S-Video/Composite.
    I'm not sure if the first revision of 1.0GHz iMac (Early 2003) fell in to the first category or the latter one.
    regardless... these adpators are available at theApple Store online for $19/£15. From there you'd need to find a VGA - DVI convertor and then the DVI to ADC convertor. Googling for such adaptors brings up several results.
