How do I install a wireless printer on my iMac. No available printer shows up.

How do I Install sprinter on my iMac?  No available printer shows up when I go to the Printer and Scanner icon.

Usually, the printer manual tells you how to sync your printer. If not, look through the settings on your printer and find a panel that might help.

    How do I install a wireless printer on my I pad 2?

    Your printer needs to have a technology called AirPrint built in on it.
    If it has wifi built in, it has a chance of working, as no non-wifi printers have AirPrint built in.
    If it does, your printer can work with the iPad.
    If it doesn't, you can purchase software for your Mac or PC that uses your computer as a little passthrough to connect and print from your printer.

    I have  a HP Envy printer already installed to a lap top, I am having a problem printing form my macbook pro.  how do I get my Macbook to recognize printer.

    First you have to connect the Printer to the MacBook Pro, then if you are connected to te Internet it should download the sufficient drivers. Then you can unplug it, and connect the printer to your wireless network. If for some odd reason you can't, you can type in Spotlight (the little magnifying glass in the top right corner) and type in (Print and Fax) there you will see a window and at the bottom there should be a plus. And your computer should connect to the printer.

  • How do I install a wireless printer that includes a set-up disk to my new iMac?

    I bought a new printer when I bought my new iMac and there is no disk drive in the computer. If the printer includes a set-up disk, is there any way I can install the printer?

    You don't need the disc. If the printer is supported, any software you need and don't already have should be downloaded automatically when you add the printer in the Print & Scan preference pane.

  • HT1800 how do I install a wireless printer to my iMac that doesn't have a cd drive. It comes with a cd but I can't use it. I have tried to download the driver online but not sure what to do now...

    You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the OS 10.8 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

    How do I add a wireless printer to my ipad

    If your printer is not an AirPrint compatible printer, there are third party printer apps in the App Store that you can purchase and install.
    iPad printing apps.

    You can also use your computer as the print server for your printer.

    You printer manufacturer may also have their own printing app.
    Do a little research. We all did some research. That's how we came up with all of this information.

  • How can I use a wireless printer and the internet at the same time?

    Hi there, I just installed a wireless printer but to use it I have to click on the Airport icon and select the printer in the 'devices' list. This deselects my connection to my wireless modem. Is there any way I can print and look at the internet at the same time? This does not seem right to me, I print a lot of info from the net and don't want to spend time selecting and waiting for connection back and forth all the time.

    I have a Linksys WAG54G2 wireless G router. This router has a Wireless Protected Setup button which I understood would initiate a search for wireless devices and aid setup but it seems to do nothing. I made the mistake of tryig to use the linksys installation disk to access a setup wizard and that just reset my entire network back to factory settings and it took me 4 hours to reconfig my system. Won't be touching that again. It all seems odd, the printer is compatible with the router as far as I can see but I don't know how to get the router to recognise the printer.

  • How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

    How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

    You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer.  The setup is done as part of the installation.
    Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed.  There is a video to assist - see below!
                                                               Install Printer Driver / Software
    If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success. 
    You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.  For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software  -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
    (Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
     Officejet Pro 8500 Series
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
    NOTE:  You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s).  The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool.  Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
    Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
    NOTE:  If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step.  During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software:  The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software.  Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in.  After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed.  Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
    Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
    Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTES: 
    If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update.  The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
    You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware.  Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

    how do I set up wireless printing between my desk jet 2542 and my computer?

    Hello danamaple,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Depending on the Operating System installed on the computer, setting up the Deskjet 2540 can be done different ways. The easiest and most popular method is to use a USB cable and the printer software to setup wireless on the printer.

    how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

    Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
    What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

  • How do i install a brother printer on macbook

    How can i install a Brother Printer on a MacBook
    I do not know the IP address of the printer
    i have tried installing the Brother software but nothing seems to work

    Most Brother printers use Bonjour to advertise themselves to the subnet.
    So, you don't generally need to hardcode your printer's IP address.
    You can if you want to, though.
    When you installed the Brother software, what specifically did you install?
    Something off a CD, something you downloaded, what?  Is it on Lion or SL?
    Where is your MacBook relative to your printer, network-wise?

  • How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

    Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed.  How do I install the PDF printer??

    Sara,
    Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit).  I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions.  I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file.  I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas.  By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled.  No joy.  When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this.  I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue.  This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update.  But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
    So, hope you’ve got some other magic.  It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick
